The catalogue of Infra_MANC.

An exhibition at the RIBA Hub / CUBE Gallery, Portland Street Manchester from 27th February – 17th March 2012. Curated by Richard Brook and Martin Dodge.

The Manchester that never was of helipads and unseen trains…

“This limited project has sought to uncover the technical specification of, and socio-political context for, several infrastructural elements and plans in Manchester as a means to examine the post-war decades and the dreams, ambitions and realities concomitant with societal changes between the early 1950s and the mid 1970s.”

Due to the exceptional generosity of authors Martin Dodge and Richard Brook, we can now offer you access to this catalogue from their extensive 2012 exhibition ‘Infra_MANC’.

Other digital publications are available here.

This download is currently offered on a ’donation’ basis in order to help raise funds for the Modernist Society during the Covid-19 shutdown. If you are not able to donate, the publication can be viewed free of charge on issuu.
